Settlement of our land final went through after 3 weeks of delays!! Wooo hooo!!

This week we also received our conditional approval for construction!!

I also spoke with our contract administrator at burbank during the week and she advised that we were approximately 6 weeks away from our file being handed to the construction department. From what I've read with other people who have built with burbank, it usually takes approximately 2-4 weeks from when the file goes to construction that the build commences. So hopefully by the end of November our house will be started!!

Today was a massive step in the process of getting our house on the way.... colour selections!!!!

We had a fantatstic day in The EdgeColour Studio. We had been on a walk through of the selection centre prior to today which was a massive help. We went in quite prepared and what can some times take 8 hours for some people for colour and electrical selection, took us approx 4 hours (including a 45min break for lunch)

To date we have chosen our block and floor plan.
Soil tests have been performed.
Our initial write up has been received.
Our first set of working drawings have been received.

To date we have found Burbank to be great to deal with! Our sales person is fantastic!! (If your ever looking to build with Burbank let us know and we will pass on her details) The admin teams have been great!
